famous Revolutionary War gen

small cherry tree and the ZMth America along the path of her first
birthday of the country's father-
George Washington.

KSLM Loses Preliminary
Skirmish for TV Channel 3
By A. ROBERT SMITH
Statesman Carres poadral
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20 The
Broadcast Bureau of the Federal
Communications Commission has
come out against granting KSLM
TV more time in which to build a
TV station on Salem's Channel 3
in Oregon.
If the FCC follows this course,
it would throw Salem's channel up
for grabs once more.
C. H. Fisher of Salem's Radio
KBZY and Eugene's KVAL-TV is
attempting to get the Salem chan
nel. But disposition of the channel
would have to be determined in a
separate case, probably after long
proceedings.
The Broadcast Bureau contended
that KSLM-TV "has not been dill-
gent in proceeding with construc
tion of television facilities" for
Salem.
Rrcrived 1953 Permit
KSLM-TV received a construc
tion permit in 1953. It has had five
extensions of time in which to
build the station, each justified by
different reasons which ranged
Eugene Church
Bells to Herald
World Prayer Day
EUGENE. Feb. 20 u Eugene
residents will be reminded of
World Day of Prayer services to
morrow by the ringing of church
bells.
The United Church Wpmcn of
Eugene have arranged church
services at four locations for the
day. Each service will begin at
:30 p.m.
from a proposal to move the trans
mitter site closer to Portland, to a
request to transfer the license to
Storer Broadcasting Co.
The next question in the pend
ing case is whether FCC Exam
iner Charles J. Frederick will side
with the bureau or with the Salem
station, owned by Glenn E. Mc
cormick, who claims he will pro
ceed to build if only given another
time extension.
The examiner's "initial decision"
will probably not come out for
some weeks, followed by a rinai
decision by the commission itself.
Commission Approval
"It is clear that what the appli
cant is now seeking is commission
annrnvnl of the ultimate assign
ment of control to another person
and modification of its construc
tion permit Ix'fore it will undertake
construction," declared the bu
reau. "This is consistent with its pre
vious pattern of delaying construc
tion on the facilities originally
authorized pending commission ap
proval of a modification or assign
ment thereof."
